IF  YOUR GROSS RECEIPT ABOVE 10 LAC THAN YOUR ARE LIABLE OTHERWISE NO 

The latest circular clarifies this particular aspect – if a member is paying more than Rs. 5,000/- per month – service tax needs to be collected on entire amount and not just on the amount exceeding Rs. 5,000/-.. For example, if someone is paying Rs.5,100 the society is now liable for service tax of 5,100*12.36% = Rs. 630/-.

Couple of other clarifications as well which will reduce some confusion:
Service tax is only applicable on the amount collected from members whose contribution is more than 5,000/- per month per flat. If in a society there are members who are contributing less – the amount collected from them will not be liable for service tax.

Service Tax is not applicable where money is collected by society from members to pay to a third party purely as a convenience – like paying water bills issued to members in bulk.
